Changed my N6 display to 1080p and some problems - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I just changed my display resolution to 1920x1080 with density 420
with adb without root to improve battery life.
I am happy with the results, can't tell the difference that much and hope to get more juice,
but some of the images are distorted.

Is it supposed to be like this?
and is there any way to fix this?
Thanks!

To fix, reset your resolution to stock. I don't know who came up with the idea that changing the resolution would help battery life, but while it won't hurt it won't help either. It would be like me changing the resolution of a laptop from 1600x900 to 1024x768. The images get distorted at the new resolution but all the pixels are still drawing power as needed to display the images. The display on the Nexus 6 or any smartphone for that matter is no different.

right, its just people that don't know better that keep telling others that reducing your "screen size" will improve your battery. but it will not.

Oh...well thanks for the replies! Guess I'll just switch back to 1440p then.

It totally baffles me that people buy a super-resolution phone and then play with the internals, with all the risks that tweaking carries, just to degrade the display. It's also never made sense to me that it would make any difference anyway, since the same number of pixels still have to be manipulated (as Strephon says) even if they're duplicating the same colour.

Youtube now has SUPER HD Videos (4096p!!!)

Hello guys,
Youtube now has real Super HD Videos (4096p) !! Yes its true and if you are on a slow connection it will take hours to buffer even a single minute.
But you don't need to buffer as some screenshots have already been posted here - Check out Super HD video screenshots!
Here is a pic iam posting here from here.

Catch the full story here.
Update: Its 4096p videos not 4000p.
they still look horrible compared to a normal hd movie; they really should have increased the bitrate instead of resolution
They are improving as of late though. I like their leanback feature too. http://www.youtube.com/leanback

Yeah have youtube leanback feature is also awesome : http://www.techit.in/youtube-launched-leanback/
Not sure about having a 25' screen for the 4000p But, googles leanback feature is very cool
Nice ladies galaxys!!
next time you better invite me
It isn't 4000p. The resolution is 4096*2304 at 24fps. Therefore, it is 2304p.
Its like calling 1080p video 1920p.

the logic doesn't apply to this resolution. youtube have come out with the resolution that is not yet properly defined. but it is progressive. if u make a good search, u'll find it's defined in 4096p and not taken the logic of height..
in fact, this resolution is completely different, its not wqhd, wfhd... no it's completely something else..
This resolution is called 4K (meaning you need 4 HDTV, each 1080p to watch this ). The area is 4 times larger as the sides are 2 times larger than full HD.
Personally I think it is BS. First of all you need expensive cameras like RED ONE to record videos. Second you need 4K display which are rare and also expensive. And most importantly the quality because of compression is not great.

Surprisingly good news for gamers

I ran the GLBenchmark on my Nook Color, then on my DINC and a few others and finally grabbed a bit more results from their website and this is what I got.
Turns out, the NC isn't a bad gaming platform at all. We already suspected that but cold hard numbers are a welcome confirmation.
Also interesting: if you have a solid disposable income, the Galaxy Tab is the leader of the pack. And if you have a solid disposable income AND speed scares you, the Streak seems like a good fit.

Would a froyo upgrade improve those numbers?
Looks to me on first glance that the NC would match the highest scores with some overclocking.
Homer
Yes, I was thinking that overclocking would be good. We won't see this until a custom kernel is released, though.
And no, unfortunately I do not think that Froyo would give us any improvement; these tests run native code, not Java, so a JIT won't make a difference.
Those numbers look suprisingly good. I use a DINC too and was expecting the NC numbers to be lower, not higher!
Just a shot in the dark but I am wondering, did you by any change change the refresh rate of the nook from the 48000 to 68000 (or 66461) before you ran these test?
Just wondering considering the 2 test that were hitting the mid 40's could possibly may have been vsynced down instead of allowing them to go higher perhaps?
No idea if this would apply to an android system, but would it hurt to check?
An intriguing thought, indeed.
I will see if the refresh rate hack "takes." I've read that many people are having trouble convincing their NC.

That is the one conclusion that I did not feel like voicing in my original post: "Oh, no, my poor Dinc."

Getting low quality graphics?

soon as the rom stayed for like 3 days onwards.. i'm having this kind of graphics, it makes the dark part like very low quality. but when i tend to screenshot it, it's okay in the computer. it's kinda greeny for video(dark/black part example when they're on dark places) for images/live wallpaper: it's low quality black. that's what i see in my screen, it's somehow like this:
example picture of the problem that i want to be fixednot to be exactly like this, this is just an example)

it's background should be black. i edited that picture using Photoshop. here is the link of the original photo: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yeRcLVjGt...DFvOD7l8Q/s1600/The-Vampire-Diaries-Logo.jpeg
It's not really look like that, but it makes the dark part of the image/wallpaper/video low graphic quality.

need to fix that thing.. when i change rom, it's good. the quality is really okay.
Actually, that's not low quality rendering. It's a problem with voodoo colour. To fix it, either use a kernel without voodoo colour or go here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002090

i see, i tend to set up my voodoo color's gamma with all 7.
and the RGB is just like how was set up. but tend to put them on the side,(max). the green one is at max, then red and blue aren't.
that i get good looking bright screen. but having that problem tho. i'll try that on the link you gave me. im currently charging my phone at 100% before i go cm9.
i followed the -50red -53green -44blue for the gamma hack. but this is my RGB:
now i tend to max the brightness than before on the almost min brightness. just try to fix that gamma failure. thanks!!

Question re: 493 DPI

Hi. I had a question about the "493dpi" versions of some ROMs I've seen. Basically, what's to gain by using a 493 dpi ROM? I read one of the nexus phones has native 493, but the system sets it to 560 or so. Why would they do that? Is something similar going on with the xt1254? Basically if someone could give me a cliff notes version of what the heck this is about, if appreciate it. Thanks!

I think it's supposed to save battery at the cost of image quality. I'm not sure about that though. Why someone would want to do anything to mess up the Turbo's beautiful screen is beyond me, but to each their own.
Right? Granted I had some crummy phones in the past, but this display is something else! Anyways, I figured it has to have something to do with "pretty" vs. performance (what doesn't?), but I am operating from a position of ignorance.

We actually have 640 dpi for the Quark (Moto Turbo, Droid Turbo, Moto Maxx). Dots Per Inch, which is software based.

We have 565 ppi (Pixel Per Inch)-- which shows Steve Jobs LIED when he said the human eye couldn't see more than 300 ppi. But then he had an iPhone to sell which had a little more than 300 ppi. Funny how that works. Most of the media never called him on it except for Wired magazine who interviewed an optical research scientist who said Jobs was full of crap (but he said it in a scientific way). Proof is our phones.
You can change the DPI but not the PPI (baked into the hardware). But it will break some apps. I've done it before on other phones, but I wouldn't do it any more.

Pinkish tint when tilting the phone?

Hello! I have noticed that my device is changing color when tilting the phone in different angles. It gets a slight pinkish/reddish tint and I wonder if everyone has this or if my screen is bad and if I should get the phone replaced? I took a video of it but it doesn't really show as much in the video as it does IRL. It's much more noticeable IRL. I can't add the video here due to XDA rules.
So, is this normal or should I get it replaced?
My s10 plus doesnt do this hmmm, do you run it on wqhd? See if that makes a difference if not I reccomend taking it back

It happens no matter the settings I use. Tried vivid turned to cool, tried to turn down the red color etc etc. It's only noticeable on a white/grey background. Like in the Gmail. I guess I'll try to get it replaced.

Seems like it's a common issue. Not sure if it's actually normal tho? A friend of mine has almost none of this issue on his. I also took a picture of it showing quite a lot of the issue.

Mine is much less pronounced and if i look the screen straight on is perfectly white
I can see green edges if I tilt the phone.
